On Nights like This
Feliz Cumpleaños, Tommy’s!
It was a dazzlingly beautiful day at the Rampart and Beverly intersection today, as the neighborhood celebrated the seventieth birthday of Tommy’s World Famous Burgers. Not wont to miss an opportunity to honor the crowd, the folks at Tommy’s brought out the Mariachi band, which of course brought out los danzantes!
L.A. looked magnificent, and I was so freakin’ proud.
When we honor the places we come from, the places we come from honor us right back. If this isn’t one of the greatest secrets about how to make the most of our time with the world, I don’t know what is!
